Watkins scored twice to push past Arsenal to help Aston Villa win

Watkins powered in two goals in Aston Villa's 3-0 conquest against Arsenal and the win at the Emirates places them 6th on the Premier League table. Aston’s luck shined when Bukayo Saka's own goal helped the visitors open. Their win would have been more painful for Arsenal if John McGinn and Jack Grealish’s goal weren’t denied due to VAR or by a goal-line clearance from Dani Ceballos respectively. Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal was high in spirit after having beaten Manchester United after 14 years at Old Trafford. But suffered a deadly blow to his managerial career as they lost to the host. Villa was looking to repeat their 7-2 thrashing of Liverpool after losing their last two matches but managed a respectable win with help from Grealish, Barkley, and Watkins.
